Sorghum seems to ferment slower than barley malt and you didn't make a starter. The gravity is coming down, so I'd just let it run for a couple weeks.

Another question does GF beers drop bright like regular beers.
from the pics i seen on the recipe pages here they all seem a lot more cloudy. is this normal and expected from GF beer?
how about cold crashing during or after secondary?

don't really have much time to experiment right now as friend wants the beer for Xmas
going to bottle 1/2 for later drinking and use 2.5 gallon keg to force carb the other 1/2 so it drinkable by xmas.

Not too sure how to answer that one. Yes, they can be as bright and clear as regular beers. Most of mine have been crystal clear, no protein haze, no starch haze, no yeast haze.
It's going to depend on the flocculation of the yeast, as well as if you decide to use any clarifiers and if you cold crash to drop the yeast. Pretty much the same variations as normal beer from what I hear.

Some of our cloudier ones tend to be more experimental, usually those with items that will create a wheat-like haze. My orange & coriander nonwheat wit is cloudy, as is my chocolate ale for example, even though they've been chilled since Feburary.

I've not used that particular yeast, so I couldn't tell you my results from it.

Always yeast a gluten free yeast nutrient, 1 teaspoon. I do this every time and it ensures a good ferment. I don't even do a starter, I just throw in the yeast and it sorts itself out.

A few ways to improve this

* Whirlfloc in the boil
* Gelatine before bottling
* Racking to secondary

I find even when my beer is a little cloudy going into bottles, it clears up really quickly in the botte (say 2 days).

And it's nice of you to brew for a friend. That's exactly how I got started, a friend brewed for me, showed me it was possible and now I'm hooked
